I. Foundational issues -- Is death a natural part of life, and what should be my attitude toward it? -- When am I dying or in the "dying process"? -- How aggressively should we treat people with potentially fatal illnesses or injuries? -- How do I prepare adequately for the dying process? -- Is it selfish to want to be in control during the dying process? -- Should I consider organ donation, and if so, when? -- If I am old or disabled or my quality of life is low, is my life of less value? -- II. Decision-making issues -- What are the roles of the patient, the physician, and family members in treatment decision making? -- Who needs to know that I am dying or may be dying? -- What are informed consent and mental competence? -- Do I have a legal right to determine my medical treatment? -- What treatment and financial plans should I make while I am still healthy? -- What are advance directives? -- Are advance directives a good idea? -- Who makes treatment decisions for an incompetent patient with no advance directive? -- When is hospitalization appropriate? -- What is long-term care? -- III. Termination of life support -- What is "do not resuscitate" (DNR) order, and when is it appropriate? -- Should I be cautious about initiating life support for fear that removal may be difficult? -- What factors should a patient, a family, or other decision makers consider before deciding to terminate life support? -- If I remove life support, am I responsible for the death? -- Is it ever ethical to withhold fluids and nutrition? -- Should my desire to be with Christ in eternity play a part in end-of-life decisions? -- IV. Suffering -- Should suffering be avoided at all costs? -- How does my knowledge of Jesus' last days affect the way I view my own last days? -- Should I ask God to relieve my suffering? -- How can I cope with the suffering God doesn't relieve? -- Do physicians have the means available to control physical pain adequately? -- What is hospice, and what can it do for me or my loved one? -- Conclusion. |
